The trailer Fred and Marge live in might be a bit too tiny.

I can relate to this situation as there was a time years ago that I lived in a trailer park in a 5 W x 10 L closed in utility trailer converted to a tiny house trailer (I use to refer to it as 'the glorified telephone booth'). At least it was only me by myself instead of two sharing that trailer. And at least it was shelter instead of being homeless.

It might be too small for even that I would expect.

By the way, I thank you for the fave.

That is really cramped.  Most people in the world live in homes that are barely big enough for all members to lay down in them, because their homes were made only for sleeping, and they only use them at night, everything else, cooking, cleaning, etc is done outside.

I've seen documentaries of places where people live that way.

Fred's choice of what size trailer he and Marge lives in was probably determined by the couple's financial resources.

It may sound really strange, but the majority of the world lives the way you saw documented.  Those people live far away from the cores of developed nations, and also far from each other, and have little access to remote communication.  To someone who grew up in a developed nation, that way of living seems unbelievable, as if it were a made-up story and entirely impossible.

I myself have never found it too unbelievable.

In the part of the state of Arkansas where I live, there use to be a family who were so low income they could not afford to rent or build a house. The parents did manage to buy some rural real estate acreage north of town for about $200 down (which $200 down has been quite common where I live...Even I got my 10 acres for $200 down).
A man the family knew who owned a junkyard gave the family several old stripped out junk cars for the family to place on the land as a means of shelter...When it became bed time, each member of the family picked out what old junk car they were going to sleep in that night.
The kids have have been long since grown up, and that was the living arrangement they grew up with.

Just less than a mile from me, a neighbor who owns 10 acres with a cave on it converted the cave as a house to live in. The front of the cave has a framed up wall with windows and a door.

I've built A-frame storage hootches that were supported from two trees, and even slept in one a number of times.
This is an HO scale model I built from scratch that looks like the real tree supported hootches I've built;

That's relatively well off compared to the very poor in other countries.  Some of them have little more than a tarp underneath a tree for their family because their house was swept away by floods or some other catastrophe, and rebuilding is delayed due to lack of resources.

It's called homelessness.

But it's a little different than the kind in the streets when you own the land and are working, yet have no house.

If it were me, I'd still rather have my land.
Without your own land, you are forced to sleep where a police officer could run you off the premises, or the land owner could have you arrested for trespassing.
At least if you had your own land, unless that land is in a subdivision with deed restrictions and all, you have a right to be on that land anytime you want...At least, even if you did not have a house, you still have a place you can go to, and pitch a tarp from the trees if you had to.

That's true.  I've always wondered why homeless people tend to be on the streets in the center of cities as opposed to out in the country where life costs less.  Of course, it's in part due to more people around from which to ask for money, and also because they may have some health or mental issues that people in the country can't solve.

I recall in your Zander tale, a Rodj who was living in a cardboard box on the street until Mr.Iscelberg gave him a job as a chauffeur. He became an expert chauffeur,investor in real estate, and businessman. He resigned one day when Zander the Bad Egg..., but he continued to be prosperous.

Well, I'll never be wasting away in a trailer park, but ...

Of course it wasn't Rohj and his wife who were in the trailer park.
However the couple who do live there are surrounded by the consequences of their bad decisions

I recall visiting a palatial manse in Raleigh, N.Carolina. Halls were long & spacious enough for transit to get around in, and there were buttons to signal any of an army of employees, when people lived there. Now it's a museum.

I think there was a garage with enough cars to choose from, to satisfy an procession.

The butler,however,had Spartan quarters, like these trailer park denizens. The Big Man did not believe in sharing the wealth.

The trailer is in deed cute, but it doesn't seem Fred and Marge is having a cute time at the moment.
